David Miscavige, a government plant?

wasn’t there some text file that had him as a CIA agent at one point from Daniel Brandt’s organization? TBH I have no idea how credible this was and I’m leaning towards “not very, but more than aliens” but I dunno, you lot know more about this methinks

Why does Scientology seem untouchable?

Ever since I found the anti-Sci websites and the Anonymous website, I have been reading like crazy online through the forums as well as books written by ex-Scientologists. One issue that keeps tripping me up how much Scientology as a group seems untouchable to criticism and being challenged by ex-Scientologists. It just makes me so angry. Have you read about Scientology messing up with the FBI and Operation Snow White? Also about how Scientology has millions of dollars on hand for litigation purposes (for lawsuits) if ex-Scientologists sue Scientology about something. It seems as if Scientology hires the best of the best lawyers in the country to defend Scientology’s position and Scientology wins the case 99% of the time. How can we make Scientology and Scientologists wake up and publicly admit that they made mistakes and had abused people within the cult? I read a book recently that mentioned how law enforcement, police officers, lawyers, and the FBI as well as the IRS, I assume, are all afraid to go against Scientology and accuse them of doing something wrong, whether it is an individual or the cult as a whole.

What about Scientology and conspiracy theories? – Our first question from WWP

What kind of conspiracy theories did you believe or observe when you were in Scientology?

The one that we hear about most often is Scientology’s crazy set of ideas about psychiatry, and there’s also a lot of anti-government stuff that emanates from Hubbard. For whatever reasons, Scientologists seem to more commonly develop other wacky beliefs. I’m talking about really far-out things: the government is purposefully putting chemicals in the water supply in order to control people, a secret group of bankers is controlling the world’s money supplies, etc.

Any interesting stories or observations you can share?

Scientology is Brainwashing

I got a bunch of books from the library, and my library has a bunch of old books about brainwashing from back then during the 1950’s to the 1960’s, during the Cold War with Russia and Communism.  I just wanted to find out whether the various strategies that LRH used to indoctrinate his followers were considered brainwashing or was only attributed to LRH’s charisma and positive spirit.  I found it interesting how LRH’s form of indoctrination is pretty similar to Chairman Mao in China.  I skimmed through a very old copy of Dianetics, and it’s boring as hell!  One of the things a leader does to brainwash his followers is to have them read boring books that are long-winded and go on forever such as LRH’s books.  These books are full of unproven propaganda to “show” that LRH’s technique works and you are being brainwashed into believing that it works.  Another brainwashing technique is to have a routine of repeated confessions where you have to list everything you know or did wrong.  Scientology has a lot of interrogations where you have to doubt your own integrity and goodness and make you change your thinking around in thinking that the approach of LRH might make you a “good and more ethical” person.  The e-meter is a crude lie detector.  The average person on the street would freak out and refuse to take a lie detector test and confess all of his/her secrets.  I think this is proof enough that Scientologists are being brainwashed.

How does Scientology view sex?

 Hi, I’m not a Scientologist.  I noticed from my reading about Scientology online through the blogs and websites of ex-Scientologists that they don’t mention some things about Scientology.  There are disputes about the permission of having abortions, do you know anything about this?  I also wonder what sex education would look like through the lens of LRH, and whether it is permissible to use birth control, condoms, or other forms of protection against sexual diseases.

Inmates are Treated Better

The difference between a Sea Org member and an inmate is that inmates have avenues of recourse for poor treatment – the courts and watchdog groups.  Inmates have the basic human rights (in the US) that citizens are entitled to.  Your rights were trampled under the guise of “religious freedom”.

Did I Feel Like I was Saving the World?

The SO is frequently called a “religious order” by the corporate mass media.  It sure doesn’t sound very religious to me.  Your description of it as prison seems much more fitting.  Did you feel like you were saving the world, though?

Could Scientology Have Benefits?

Despite what you have been put through, is there ANY aspect of Scientology that you found to have a positive impact on your life? Does any Scientology practice actually have the potential to benefit a person?

As a follow up to these, is if you took the requisite “donations” out the equation, and auditing was administered without the cult-like observance to LRH’s bogus “scripture”, could people benefit from this? After all, stripped of its cult doctrines and criminal practices, Scientology is basically a form of community therapy,

What jobs did you do?

Can you describe some of the jobs you held while you were in the Sea Org?   How did they pick people for different assignments?  Did you have to go to different buildings or stay in the same place during those jobs?
